......................
My card for this challenge caused me some issues as while perfect for a celebratory challenge the theme is a bit outside my comfort zone - however not to be deterred I remembered this elegant stamp I won from Craft Stamper some time ago and got to work 
The main image is coloured with a combination of Inktense pencils and H2O's  and is a bit more shimmery than the photo picks up.
 For the background panel I've sprayed with ink sprays and then added some texture with glitter paste through a swirly stencil - again tricky to see in the photo. I've used glitter card for layers and gems and liquid pearls to finish off.

I really hope you join us for our 100th celebration, don't forget to hop and I look forward to seeing your glitzy, glamorous creations....Happy Crafting, Esther xx

  6. Your couple is very Glam so I think you've passed the "out of comfort zone" challenge with flying colours! And just enough Glitz to be glitzy not gaudy... This would make a brilliant Valentine or Anniversary card.
